Tools Used for Gathering Source Contents from SMEs February 15, 2009

Posted by elearningtyro in : Instructional Design, Useful Resources , add a comment

This post is the continuation of my earlier post, Tips for Gathering Source Contents from SMEs_Part 2.

In this post, I will share information on tools or softwares that an Instructional Designer (ID) could use when gathering source contents from the Subject Matter Expert (SME).

Here are the possible instances which  an ID might come across when gathering source contents from the SME, and the tools that can be used in each of those instances:

Instance 1

The SME  provides all the source contents in the form of Microsoft Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, PDF documents, blog posts, and Web site articles. Therefore, an ID does not require additional sessions to gather source contents from the SME.

The ID and the SME can use the following tools in this instance:

Instance 2

In addition to standard documents and presentations, an ID, especially for developing courses on software applications, requires source contents that include screen grabs with relevant audio being spoken by the SME. Therefore, the ID need to attend one-to-one sessions with the SME to gather required source contents.

The ID and the SME can use the following tools in this instance:

This brings to the end of the series of posts on effectively gathering source contents from the SME. Thanks for visiting these posts and watch out the ‘Blog’ section frequently for more interesting posts :)
